EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the serene Chion-in temple nestled in the eastern hills of Higashiyama, Kyoto. The image captures a profound moment of spiritualism as monks engage in an ancient ritual - pulling ropes that resonate with the weighty chimes of a colossal bell. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the essence of Japanese culture and its deep-rooted traditions. Against a backdrop of lush greenery, these dedicated men embody devotion and discipline as they tug on the ropes with unwavering determination. The ringing sound reverberates through the air, creating a harmonious melody that transcends time and space. It is a reminder of our connection to something greater than ourselves - an invitation to reflect upon our own spirituality. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of this sacred custom but also serves as a visual testament to Japan's rich religious heritage. It invites us on a journey to explore East Asia's mystical allure and discover its hidden gems. Christian Kober/Robert Harding has masterfully captured this poignant scene, allowing us to witness firsthand the power and significance behind each pull. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image, we cannot help but be drawn into its tranquility and find solace in its timeless message.
